名词解释:许多人常因工作时间长,加上工作劳累、压力大、长时间保持固定的姿势,从而导致肌肉发炎、疼痛。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?
Long work hours, exhaustion from working, excessive stress and keeping the same posture for many hours can all spell inflamed, sore muscles for many people.
In addition to being detrimental to how your body functions, bad posture causes you to jut your hips forward, slump your shoulders and even breathe inefficiently, according to Pat Davidson, a trainer with a PhD in Exercise Physiology.
He says that people should do shoulder shrugging exercises to move the muscles and joints in the shoulder area during time off from work, which can greatly improve blood circulation.
